It looks like Macy's is moving to Atlanta. Can't say I'm surprised...I think everybody could see the writing on the wall when Macy's bought The May Company. This is a blow to downtown St. Louis for sure. There will be 850 less people shopping, buying lunch, just plain walking the streets.

I pray the Railway Exchange Building doesn't sit vacant, it's too beautiful a building to be left to languish. Maybe the whole Mercantile Exchange district will be able to take advantage of this and put a better quality of retailers in there than the current Macy's store? Dreams...

I miss Famous Barr.

I miss F.B., too. Macy's seems just a bit to sparkly for my tastes.
